Feel free to extend this invitation to your fellow colleagues and those from neighboring schools! Please use your school email address to RSVP for a ticket. You do not have to be an educator from one of the sponsoring districts.
Other
We have a limited number of tickets available for purchase if you are an employee of an edtech company, an education consultant or just interested in experiencing how technology can have a meaningful impact on student learning, school administration and teacher development.
Space is limited, so please RSVP by April 1st, 2014!
WHY:
Given the fast-moving changes in technology, understanding what tools make the most sense for teachers and schools can be challenging. Not only is it critical for educators to be exposed to the latest technology, but it's also important that educator voices are heard by those who are building the tools.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
This event is designed for educators by educators. Expect exposure to new tools, use cases, demo's, networking with colleagues and a fun atmosphere to connect with like-minded educators. We want to amplify the teacher voice. No hype. No marketing fluff allowed!
At the end of the day, we will have a raffle drawing for a range of devices - tablets and chromebooks!
WHAT TO BRING:
This event is all about trying out new school tools! Please bring your mobile devices, such as a laptop or tablet. You can bring smartphones, too, but not every product may be designed for them. We will have some devices to borrow if you can't bring one.
